Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 140 Head-to-Head

Seeing Ye Wuqing resort to the same trick again, Ji Lin impatiently unleashed another sword aura. An explosion rang out, and the crimson-gold leaf transformed into crimson-gold flames and dissipated.

Ji Lin continuously wielded the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and dozens of crimson crescent-shaped sword energies tore through the air and flew towards Ye Wuqing.

Ye Wuqing dared not be careless. It seemed that his Golden Leaf Martial Soul was restrained by Ji Lin's Ultimate Flame. After all, his Golden Leaf was a plant-type Martial Soul. He was not afraid of ordinary flames, but the Ultimate Flame was different.

Ye Wuqing's eyes turned golden, like two golden leaves, and at the same time, his first and third spirit rings shone brightly.

From his hands, at least dozens of golden leaves shot out, instantly forming a golden net in the air, fiercely meeting the dozens of crescent-shaped sword energies.

"Bang! Bang!" Explosions rang out one after another as the golden leaves and crescent-shaped sword energy collided repeatedly in the air. Both the sword energy and the golden leaves were extremely sharp, like needles clashing against wheat awns, neither able to gain the upper hand.

However, it was clear to the audience that Ye Wuqing was at a disadvantage because he used two soul skills, while Ji Lin didn't use any.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ultimate Flame countered the Golden Leaf, in terms of sheer power, Ji Lin's ordinary sword aura attack, which was merely an outward release of his soul power, would be no match for the Golden Leaf, which was enhanced by two soul skills.

Ye Wuqing's eyes were filled with resentment; he hadn't expected Ji Lin to be so restrained.

The battle between Wang Qiu'er and Yu Mengdi was much more exciting. The two blonde beauties transformed into golden streaks of light, clashing back and forth. The sounds of guns and swords clashing were deafening. The audience watched the battle on the stage with bated breath as the two blonde beauties engaged in an extremely fierce contest.

Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, Wang Qiu'er moved like the wind across the arena. Her golden hair fluttered in the air, and each swing of the spear carried the force of thunder, both elegant and majestic.

Wherever his figure passed, the sound of dragon roars never ceased.

Yu Mengdi was not to be outdone. Using the wings on her back and the two swords in her hands, she engaged in a high-speed duel with Wang Qiu'er. Her long golden hair cascaded down her shoulders, seemingly blending into her golden wings.

The battle between the two was exceptionally fierce; sparks flew as their spears and swords clashed. Each collision was accompanied by a deafening clang of metal against metal, leaving the audience in awe. Their figures darted through the air, sometimes separating, sometimes drawing closer, elegant yet thrilling.

After the two clashed again, Yu Mengdi floated above the arena, her second spirit ring lighting up. She shouted, "Second spirit skill, Holy Radiance Cross Slash!"

Her twin golden swords crossed, drawing two complete crosses in the air. The angelic phantom behind her mirrored her move, unleashing a massive cross-shaped sword aura. The angelic phantom behind her countered with an even larger, holy cross-shaped slash, imbued with divine flames and possessing immense power. A melodious, sweet song emanated from the sword aura, the dazzling golden light carrying a holy aura, complete with its own background music. This drew frequent glances from Ji Lin, emboldening Ye Wuqing's attacks even further.

Her first soul skill, Divine Twin Swords, is a rare weapon-type soul skill. The twin swords in her hands are her first soul skill, which means that no matter what soul skill she uses, it is released by superimposing her first soul skill.

Wang Qiu'er formed her right hand into a claw shape, her fourth spirit ring lit up, and she shouted, "Fourth spirit skill, Golden Dragon Claw!"

Five golden claw beams, each over ten meters long and carrying an incomparably sharp aura, tore through the air and met the two holy radiance cross slashes, one large and one small.

The Holy Light Cross Slash and the Golden Dragon Claw collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The force of the collision between the two soul skills was devastating, and the sword energy and claw light that burst out during the collision ravaged most of the arena. Even the referee had to hide below the arena.

Yu Mengdi and Wang Qiu'er were evenly matched, and the two girls fought fiercely.

Seeing that Wang Qiu'er and Yu Mengdi were locked in a stalemate, Ji Lin knew that he could not delay any longer. Ye Wuqing's martial soul, the Golden Leaf, was good at ranged attacks, but it was countered by Ji Lin's ultimate fire and could not exert its due power.

With a loud "bang," Ji Lin transformed into a streak of fire and rushed towards Ye Wuqing.

Ji Lin's first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously. He used his first spirit skill, Residual Fire, to amplify his attributes, and then used his second spirit skill, Fire Element Manipulation, to ignite the flames around him, using the impact of the explosion to accelerate.

Its speed was no slower than that of Wang Qiu'er, who possessed angel wings and ultimate power.

As the saying goes, speed is power, and conversely, power is speed. Wang Qiu'er, who possesses ultimate power, can also unleash ultimate speed by leveraging her power. Ji Lin, on the other hand, uses his second soul skill to accelerate with the impact of an explosion, making him incredibly fast.

Ji Lin instantly appeared in front of Ye Wuqing, who was dozens of meters away from him, and the Heavenly Fire Judgment transformed into a red light and slashed towards Ye Wuqing.

In that moment of crisis, Ye Wuqing reacted with lightning speed. His left hand suddenly enlarged, and numerous leaf-vein-like blood vessels shone with dazzling golden light, turning his hand completely golden. His fourth spirit ring shone brightly on his body.

The moment Ji Lin approached him, he decisively used his fourth soul skill, Golden Left Hand.

That's right, this soul skill only amplifies his left hand. If this golden left hand releases a golden leaf, its power will increase exponentially.

At the same time, this golden left hand also possesses immense strength and defensive capabilities.

This golden left hand firmly blocked Ji Lin's Heavenly Fire Judgment and isolated the flames on the Heavenly Fire Judgment sword from harming Ye Wuqing.

Ji Lin's lips curled up, and his fourth soul ring shone, revealing his fourth soul skill: Heavenly Fire Holy Flame.

The flames on the Heavenly Fire Judgment Sword surged once more, suppressing the flames that had been blocked by the Golden Left Hand.

Ye Wuqing used his golden left hand to block the Heavenly Fire Judgment. Just as the Heavenly Fire Judgment was about to overwhelm the golden left hand, a cold light flashed in Ye Wuqing's eyes. His right hand moved slightly, and his first and third soul rings lit up. At this moment, he used his first soul skill, Leaf Blade, and his third soul skill, Leaf Array, manipulating the Golden Leaf Array to launch an attack from behind Ji Lin.

Ji Lin felt the chilling sharpness behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had underestimated the captain of Zhengtian Academy. As expected of a genius that even Wang Yan said was no less than Dai Yueheng, he really had some skills.

Ji Lin exerted his strength again, and flames erupted. The Heavenly Fire Judgment finally broke through the Golden Left Hand, leaving a sword mark on Ye Wuqing's chest and knocking Ye Wuqing away. Then Ji Lin quickly turned around, his third soul ring lit up, and he slashed out a crimson pillar of light, which engulfed the Golden Leaf that was attacking him.

Before Ye Wuqing's incredulous eyes, his Golden Leaf Array was enveloped by a crimson pillar of light, melted by the high temperature, turned into drops of golden liquid, and then evaporated into gas.
